Kitchen designs in 2022 and beyond haven't changed as much as you might think. In fact, some of the styles we have seen in recent years are sticking around now and into the next year. Below we go through some of the top kitchen designs in Canberra options you may not have thought of and features that are well worth the effort should you decide to focus on them.
Sustainability
Do you like doing good things for the earth? If so, sustainability might be a focus for you. One of the best ways to do so is with bamboo. Bamboo countertops have been an excellent choice for many homeowners. But they aren't without their fair share of maintenance. Bamboo needs to be conditioned. Well, oiled rather. This will keep the bamboo sealed and prevent splintering from happening. But if you take care of the bamboo, it will look amazing in any space you decide to put it in. You can also glaze bamboo with a sealant to give it greater defense against staining and cut marks.
White Kitchens
White kitchens have been popular for many years now. Remember the country kitchen look? White kitchens are not slowing down anytime soon. There is simply something about a spotless white kitchen that we all love. Pair your white kitchen cabinets with a white countertop with a little color for an amazing finish. Many homeowners choose to have custom cabinets paired with a white marble countertop with black veins.
Metal Elements
Remember to include metal elements. Industrial is in, and an amazing look that lends itself well to any kitchen. Think of hanging pots and pans, stainless steel hardware, and a larger sink with spray nozzles. Not only is this a great look, but it is a fantastic kitchen to work in. Metal elements might also include the faucet. Choose your faucet wisely. Do you like the operation it has? Is there a hot and cold faucet handle, or is it all built into one? It may seem like a little thing, but it will make a big difference in your day-to-day life.
Finishing Touches
Don't forget the finishing touches. By that, we mean the hardware. Will your cabinets have the hardware, or will they be soft closing with no accessible handles? These are the minor details that will set off your kitchen and give it a seamless look. Not everyone likes the no hardware look. We don't blame you. Sometimes it's nice to have handles. It really is a matter of choice.
